movement in and out of cells/variety of living organisms Flashcards
what does eukaryotic mean?
complex cells that contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
what does prokaryotic mean?
simple cells that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
is plants eukaryotic or prokaryotic
Eukaryotic
is plants multicellular or single-celled
multicellular
is plants living or non-living
living
how is carbohydrates stored in plants?
it is stored as sucrose or starch
how do plants reproduce?
Asexually, obtained without seeds and sexually, obtained with seeds.
what is the mode of nutrition for plants?
they absorb water and minerals from the soil. they use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose
an example of a plant
cereals (maize)
herbaceous legumes (peas and beans)
is animals multicellular or single-celled
multicellular
is animals living or non living
living
is animals eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
eukaryotic
how is carbohydrate stored in animals?
often stores carbohydrate in the form of glycogen
what is the mode of nutrition for animals?
they are heterotrophs. meaning they gain nutrition by consuming other organisms
an example of a animal
mosquitoes
is fungi multicellular or single-celled
most are multicellular but some are single-celled
Is fungi a living or non-living
living
is fungi eukaryotic or prokaryotic
eukaryotic
what is the mode of nutrition for fungi?
fungi are heterotrophs. they contain nutrition by consuming other organisms
how do fungi store carbohydrates
they store carbohydrate as glycogen
an example of a fungi
yeast (single-celled)
Mucor(multicellular and has a mycelium and hyphae
is protoctists living or non living
living
is protoctists eukaryotic or prokaryotic
prokaryotic
is protoctists multicellular or single-celled
single-celled
how do fungi reproduce?
they form spores
how do protoctists reproduce?
by either binary fission, where it asexually reproduce. or multiple fission, where they create numerous nuclei before dividing.
what is the mode of nutrition for protoctists?
some are heterotrophs, meaning they eat other organism. Others autotrophic meaning they have chloroplast and produce their own food.
how do protoctists store carbohydrates
glycogen
an example of a protoctists
Chlorella (plant-cell like)
Amoeba (animal-cell-like)
is bacteria living or non living
living
is bacteria eukaryotic or prokaryotic
prokaryotic
is bacteria multicellular or single-celled
single-celled
how do bacteria reproduce
primarily by binary fission
what is the mode of nutrition for bacteria
some are heterotrophs and some are autotrophs.
how do bacteria store carbohydrates
in a form of soluble carbohydrates
examples of bacteria
Lactobacillus Bulgaricus (used to make yoghurt form milk)
Pneumococcus ( pathogen that causes pneumonia)
is virus living or non living
non living
is virus a pathogen
yes
is virus eukaryotic or prokaryotic
neither
how do virus reproduce
virus is a parasite. it depends on living organisms to reproduce
what is the mode of nutrition for viruses
they get their nutrition form the organisms they infect
how do virus store carbohydrate?
they don’t store carbohydrate
an example of a virus
influenza virus (cause flu and HIV)
Tobacco mosaic virus (discolours the plant and stops them from producing chloroplasts)
